I'm curious about how most people obtain their music.

Do you:

a) Buy CD's or LP's in store or online
b) Download on itunes or in some other way by paying $$
c) Download in another way
d) some other method

I have a big collection of cd's, but have been considering starting to buy on itunes. Is the quality generally good for itunes files?

Is the quality generally good for itunes files?

I think they only sell 256kbps songs.

I buy online constantly. Sometimes at fye, but sadly I can usually buy anything I see that I want from fye for cheaper, even with shipping included, online.
I buy predominately death metal and my normal haunts are
Amazon, Ebay, Discogs, Dark Descent, Hell's Headbangers, and Sevared/Comatose.

I've been buying Cds from stores for a long time but I really need to start buying them online. The albums I want are becoming harder and harder to come by in stores.

I live near Amoeba Records which is great. My girlfriend lives in San Francisco where there is an even better Amoeba- possibly the best collection of used metal CDs and LPs you will ever see. That's where I buy most my stuff.

I mostly buy new releases from the labels online and for rare stuff I mostly look to ebay. I also download (mostly bands I've never heard before), but I refuse to pay for a digital file.

Dysrhythmia - Psychic Maps (Japanese Import)
Genghis Tron - Board Up The House

Was just listening to Board Up The House a few minutes ago. I still need to get Psychic Maps. What I've heard of it sounds awesome.

Couple I just picked up:

Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All
Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernieres Pensees

a) Buy CD's or LP's in store or online

This. I especially like buying rarities and out-of-print CD's and LP's.

^ Hells Headbangers man. Got the CD (Digipak) version. They also have it on 12'' Gatefold LP.

Usually A, but have been moving towards option B in the last six months. I've got a Zune and a zunepass. $15 a month gives me unlimited downloads plus 10 tracks I can buy/keep from the Zune Marketplace each month. The marketplace has a good collection to download from, but sadly no Cannibal Corpse or Vader.

 

[Umodian]

A. Almost always online.
